Women of War
From underground fighters to courageous spies, Women of War unearths the hidden history of the brave women who risked their lives to overthrow the Nazi occupation and liberate Italy. Using primary sources and recent scholarship, Cope sheds light on the roles played by women while Italians struggled under dual foes: Nazi invaders as well as Italian fascist loyalists. Cope''s research and storytelling introduces the brave and resourceful women who risked everything to overthrow the Nazi occupation and build a better future, following the lives of four central characters, Teresa, Carla, Bianca, and Anita. Women of War brings their experiences as underground resistance fighters, partisan combatants, spies, and saboteurs, to awful life. Essential and original, Women of War offers not only a re-examination of the elision of women from vital WWII history, but also a valuable perspective on the ongoing fight for gender equality and social justice. After all, these were the women who launched a worldwide feminist movement as they focused on the future of their country, and what that could mean for its women, all while under Nazi and Fascist fire.

From Servant to Leader
President Zelensky is not only a showman and politician. He is also a political phenomenon through which history revealed something very important about Ukrainian society. This book is dedicated to Ukraine under the presidency of Volodymyr Zelensky. It consists of columns, originally written for the Kennan Institute’s expert blog Focus Ukraine. Put together, these columns constitute a chronicle of a society surviving oligarchy, pandemic, and war with dignity and resilience – in spite of all the challenges of recent and current history.
Concentration Camps
A global and comprehensive history of a modern institution of inhumanity.In popular perception concentration camps are synonymous with genocide and Nazi racial extermination. Yet concentration camps were and are a global phenomenon, not restricted to Nazi Germany, used at times even by democracies, with an astonishing range of functions.Drawing together a wide range of multi-lingual archival research and synthesising a broad secondary literature, Alan Kramer provides here a comprehensive history of concentration camps, charting their first establishment at the beginning of the twentieth century on the colonial periphery, through their most extreme and inhuman instances in the mid-twentieth century, to their continued use today. Concentration camps are shown to be a truly transnational phenomenon that emerged both simultaneously (within and between imperial spheres—Britain, Spain, the USA, and Germany around 1900), and diachronically (from then to the First World War, the Gulag, and Nazi camps). Such camps existed (and exist) under a variety of regimes, often concomitant with empire-building by revolutionary dictatorships, as sites of genocide, mass murder, and performative violence, but also as central elements of utopian schemes of social and racial transformation. Integrating the perspective of perpetrators and the victims and contextualising them within the historiography of other carceral institutions, the book will reshape the way we think about concentration camps as part of modern civilization, past and present.
Cloud: Between Paris and Tehran
A theoretical examination of veiling, shame, and modesty in the films of the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami through the lenses of Islamic philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis.In Cloud: Between Paris and Tehran, Joan Copjec examines the films of the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. The key to these films, she argues, lies in the image of a fragile yet sheltering tree that appears in several of his films. This simple image depicts a central concept of Islamic philosophy, which is known as the ?Cloud? or the ?Imaginal World.? It designates the place out of which all the things of this world manifest themselves and ?covers,? or veils, that which must remain hidden. The concept of the Cloud plays a significant role in defining: 1) the unique nature of the Islamic God, who is not a creator or father; 2) the nature of the image, which assumes a priority and a greater power than it is elsewhere accorded; and 3) the nature of modesty, shame, and sexuality.Copjec walks her readers through the thicket of Islamic philosophy while demonstrating how its abstract concepts produce what audiences see on screen. The most ambitious aspect of the book lies in its attempt to demonstrate the inheritance by psychoanalysis of a new notion of knowledge, or gnosis, formulated by Muslim thinkers, who radically redefined the relation between body and thought.
Úton az összeomlás felé
„Minél élhetetlenebbé válik ez a bolygó, annál inkább túszai lesznek az emberek egy olyan elnyomó rendszernek, amely egyre több pénzt fog kérni tőlük az egyre nehezebben elérhető vízért, élelemért, energiáért és lakhatásért. A kiszolgáltatottság a totalitarizmust táplálja, a bolygó pedig úton van egy olyan mélyreható ökológiai katasztrófa felé, amelyet jelenleg egyikünk sem képes elképzelni még.”
George Tsakraklides
A legtöbb ember elismeri, hogy napjainkban hatalmas kihívásokkal kell megküzdeni az éghajlatváltozástól és annak katasztrofális következményeitől kezdve a társadalmi-politikai problémák sokaságáig, ugyanakkor nehezen néz szembe a különböző rendszerek, válságok okozta teljes összeomlásának valós lehetőségével. Az emberi civilizáció talán legnagyobb, közelgő katasztrófájának előestéjén születtünk. Egyikünk sem tudatosan választotta ezt, ahogy annak elkerülése sem egy lehetőség számunkra. Helyzetünk végzetes voltának elfogadása nem nihilizmus, hanem inkább az első szükséges lépés egy új életforma kialakításához. Az önpusztítás és az önfeladás között, a semmi akarása és a semmit nem akarás között van más választásunk is: sorsunk felvállalása és létünk tudatos megélése.
A Holnapután könyvsorozat újabb köteteként megjelenő Úton az összeomlás felé rámutat arra, hogy a mai globális emberi civilizáció egy olyan útvonalon halad, amely a természet szempontjából fenntarthatatlan, és amely a hanyatlás és a lehetséges rendszerszintű összeomlás felé vezet. A túlfogyasztás korszaka utáni legfőbb kihívás az lesz, hogy emberségesek maradjunk az embertelenségre ösztönző körülmények közepette is. Ehhez meg kell tanulnunk uralni érzelmeinket, túllépve a folyamatos növekedés vágyán, amely ezt az önpusztító irányt fenntartotta.
Letters from Gaza
LETTERS FROM GAZA is more than a book - it''s a voice from the silence, a heartbeat in the wreckage. Through poetry, letters, and monologues, 30 Gazans lay bare their fears, grief, and relentless hope amid devastation. As the year 2023 came to an end, and wistfulness filled the air with hopes for the new tidings; the whole world was left startled with the unfolding of the largest humanitarian crisis of this century. While we lamented at the visuals of unimaginable destruction, loss, and unsurmountable pain, there were people living that reality. Men, women, and children with plans for the weekend and dreams to fulfill; many wrapping their chores early to take a walk by the sea. Millions of such diverse individuals who were now only spoken of words wrapped in tragedy; all merged into one. Surviving war isn’t a blanket experience; there are many facets which remain unheard. This collection is pertinent in bringing focus to the diverse human stories behind the crisis, the emotions that rang loudly in the silence of the night, when the shutters went down and the dust had settled. Throughout the year, 30 people living in the Gaza strip, of varied ages and ethnographies, penned their feelings, fears, memories, thoughts, and hopes on the tempestuous days of war. Each story is a reminder of the world held within every person and how humanity at large was at stake with them. Collected and compiled by Mahmoud and Mohammed, two prolific writers in Gaza, this collection, with an introduction from Atef Abu Saif, stands as a testament to unparalleled resilience and unveils the unimaginable emotional scars of war; leaving us overcome with tenderness and compassion.

The Future of Revolution
Communism comes from the future, but its hopes haunt our past. Reading revolutionary history from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising by the light of communist theory, from Marx to C. L. R. James, The Future of Revolution illuminates the possibilities for overcoming class society in the twenty-first century.
When Marx wrote that the Paris Commune of 1871 showed that "the working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes," he identified a principle that will remain true as long as capitalism and its class antagonism persist. Historical revolutions reveal essential features of our communist horizon, which would-be revolutionaries, then as now, must negotiate one way or another. In chapters that move from a critical history of the workers' council to a reading of Marx's theory of value as an inverted description of communism, Jasper Bernes synthesizes from a history of failure the key criteria for success. He defines for our present moment the urgent mission of the world proletariat.
Manuál terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny
Richard C. Schwartz je tvůrcem směru zvaného terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny (IFS). Lidská psychika se podle něj vyznačuje existencí vnitřních částí, které se někdy projevují extrémními způsoby (zneužívání látek, disociace, sebepoškozování, perfekcionismus, posedlost vzhledem, vyhýbání se konfliktům a mnoho dalších). Tím, že se klient naučí těmto částem naslouchat, se jejich projevy stávají méně destruktivními a začíná se u nich projevovat důvod, proč původně vznikly – aby jedinci prospívaly. Předkládaný manuál poskytuje vodítka pro práci s klienty, kteří zažili trauma, narušení vazby a různé další psychické obtíže. Stručně a přehledně předkládá kazuistiky, techniky, přehledy, tipy, diagnostické postupy a cvičení terapeutům různých směrů. Metoda IFS je zakotvená v neurovědách, využívá přirozené vnitřní zdroje klienta a podporuje to, aby k sobě člověk zaujímal soucitný postoj. Kniha je určena pro psychoterapeuty či klienty, kteří se chtějí inspirovat metodou IFS.

Fragility
The distant past is commonly characterized in terms of dominant materials of the time – the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, etc. Since the dawn of writing, however, characterizing eras in terms of materials has fallen by the wayside, and yet materials have continued to exert a powerful influence on our collective imagination. Viewed from this perspective, France in the period from 1815 to 1855 could be seen as the half-century of plaster. After the French Revolution, plaster was used for a great variety of things: building, moulding, sculpting, decorating. Cheap and easy to use, plaster was everywhere, from Napoleon’s death mask to household ornaments, from walls to elaborate mouldings. Plaster was king – but a fragile king that easily crumbled and fell apart. The age of plaster was also the reign of the ephemeral and the transient, the vulgar and the eclectic, and the men and women of the time struggled to maintain stability and continuity with the past. In the space of a few decades, no fewer than seven political regimes succeeded one another. Plaster – symbol of the ephemeral, the flaking and the vulgar – is the material which defines the first half of the nineteenth century. Written with his characteristic brilliance and eye for unconventional topics, Alain Corbin’s highly original exploration of the role of plaster in history will be of interest to a wide readership.
In Praise of Philosophy
What kind of philosophy do we need for the 21st century? To answer to this question, Alain Badiou imagines a dialogue between Tocéras, an earnest and engaging professor, and various interlocutors from different countries and philosophical cultures – John After from Britain, Amantha from Greece, B’adj Akil from Senegal, Xi La Pong from China and several others. Their conversation takes readers on a playful journey through the history of philosophy framed by the five great questions that have preoccupied Alain Badiou: democracy, freedom, universality, language and being. At the same time, philosophy is presented not as a system or doctrine but as movement and dialogue. The philosopher is not a solitary figure; he is inseparable from his pupils, his disciples and his adversaries. It is only at the end of the journey that he arrives at the written, stable forms of his work. So we are dealing more with a play than a treatise, more with dialogues than monologues, more with a course than a book. The obvious model is Plato's Socrates, who, in founding philosophy as a discipline, ensured that it could be established anywhere in the world. In praise, yes, of philosophy as the public creation of a thought that, inventing itself and transporting itself anywhere, speaking to anyone about anything, invents the theatricalization of being.
False Dawn
CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL’S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2025A definitive history of the United States’ recovery from the Great Depression—and the New Deal's true part in it. FDR’s New Deal has long enjoyed a special place in American history and policy—both because it redefined the government’s fundamental responsibilities and because Roosevelt’s “bold experimentation” represented a type of policymaking many would like to see repeated. But “the thing about bold experiments,” economist George Selgin reminds us, “is that they often fail.” In False Dawn Selgin draws on both contemporary sources and numerous studies by economic historians to show that, although steps taken during the Roosevelt administration’s first days raised hopes of a speedy recovery from the Great Depression, instead of fulfilling those hopes, subsequent New Deal policies proved so counterproductive that over seventeen percent of American workers—more than the peak unemployment rate during the COVID-19 crisis—were still either unemployed or on work relief six years later. By distinguishing the New Deal’s successes from its failures, and explaining how the U.S. finally managed to lay the specter of mass unemployment to rest, Selgin draws salient lessons for dealing with future recessions.
